FIVE members of the Dengie 100 Runners club took part in the Mersea Island five and ten mile race.

The course, which consisted of either one or two five-mile laps, was made up of fairly fast, slightly undulating scenic roads with delightful rural and sea views.

Although warm, the temperature was not too hot and there were some slight head and cross winds in places.

Results, Dengie 100 Runners, five-mile race: Dionne Radley 50 minutes 03 seconds, Clare Bendall 51m 49s.

Ten-mile race: Samantha Boshell one hour 32m 41s, Richard Carvey 1h 37m 47s, Wendy Simpson 1h 38m 05s.

Dengie 100 Runners duo Steve Sawyer and Kelvin Fleuty both clocked personal bests at the Maldon Park Run.

Sawyer came third in 19m 05s and Fleuty finished in 23m 15s.
